In my limited experience, I haven't come across a linux system without some form of a c library. Pretty much everything in gnu userland relies on it. > If so, then I don't understand why it (threading) must be optional in > FPC based applications. Not depending on libc is a good thing and keeps options open, especially for embedded development. E.g. you can try and write your own busybox style program in fpc, to make a 100% pascal userland :) Henry _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
